Solomon's Porch is a twenty-first-century morality tale rooted in an ancient faith.

Wid Bastian challenges readers to explore their faith fearlessly, to embrace holy tradition and apostolic doctrines, and to fully apply Christianity's deepest roots to our lives.For most of his life, Wid Bastian lived in a self-imposed state of alienation from God, refusing to be humbled; arrogant and suckled by a fallen world. It took a series of disasters, most of his own making, to bring him to his knees. Wid is currently finishing his obligation to society while embracing his newfound freedom in Christ.

Cruel gossip, loneliness and hoards of opportunistic suitors have her believing Society couldn't be more vile...or dangerous. So when an attacker threatens her life, she finds safety in the most unseemly of places: the arms of a mysterious, Irish-American gang leader. His fortune stolen, young Matthew Joseph Milton is done playing the respectable gentleman. In the slums of New York, only ruffians thrive. But from the moment he arrives in London and encounters the voluptuous Lady Bernadette, he can't help but wonder about the finer pleasures he's missing. Or just how much he's willing to risk-not only to bed her, but to prove his worth....Review"Marvelle adeptly explores the best and worst of social class divides in this unforgettable story."-Booklist on Forever and a Day (starred review)"[A] quintessential romance." -Booklist on Prelude to a Scandal From the AuthorDear Reader,Everyone deserves a second chance at life. Especially when at the core of who and what they are, they define all things good. Sometimes, life cheats us out of opportunities we deserve. But even then, we have the right to dream and to be more than what everyone expects from us. Such is the story of Matthew Joseph Milton. Educated, dashing, and a true gentleman at heart, he finds that being a good man simply isn't enough to survive in a world looking to take everything away. So what do you do in an effort to fight back? You redefine yourself, even at the cost of yourself. In that, Matthew and Bernadette are the same (without knowing it). They both had to redefine themselves, only to discover that they buried far too much. Forever a Lady is my twisted version of the Newsies. Only I'm going with buff, older men toting pistols, instead of boys toting newspapers. It is my hope you will enjoy the searing passion Matthew and Bernadette learn to share not only for each other but life as they return to who and what they really are. I feel blessed enough to speak from experience when I say, there is no better happily ever after than finding yourself AND the love of your life.Much love,Delilah Marvelle
